About this service
Abusive relationships are about power and control. Healthy relationships are about sharing and negotiating and respecting boundaries. We all come to relationships with our histories and views on relationships. We also come from a community / media that sends very disrespectful messages to women and men about how they are valued and others are not. Thus no one is immune to finding themselves in an unhealthy relationship. However, the basis of creating a healthy relationship is knowing yourself and learning to voice your wants and boundaries. Also it is knowing the warning signs of an abusive person so it allows the woman to get out as early as possible. For women, many have learned not to voice their concerns, or believe that you can save or heal someone even if they hurt you or they believe they are not good enough thus deserve poor treatment. Unlearning these beliefs and valuing your worth is one way that you will be able to build a healthy relationship.
